Spark plug issue

[Dominique Williams]

So I recently purchased estreet aluminum edelbrock heads for my 1978 440rb engine and after installing them and riding with them for a month or so I went to change out my spark plugs and couldn't get my number one out because the head was covering enough of the spark plug I couldn't get a socket on it to get it out. long story short are their spark plugs available to avoid this problem like shorty ones or will I have to get the heads machined down so I have no clearance issue. what would be the better option thank you

Can u post a pic of the problem area? How did u get the plugs in in the first place. U may be able to get a real thin wall socket. Kim

How did you get them in if they won’t come out?

They were already on when installing The new head

You'll have to grind down the exterior circumference of your socket. Thin the wall a bit. Or buy a plug socket that's already thinner.
